hope they have more than one barrow... And don't stop for a lunch break half way across that floor

in my experience a floor that size barrowed in may end up with a few cracks when dry

 

[Flintstone]

Well, it has been down for 6 weeks now, so it should be dry.

What have you got in for materials?

Been to see it, mostly one big room, looks good and flat, it's not pumped.
It does have ufh under it but he says it isn't turned on. What's the rules regarding turning it on?

Needs to be done over 8 days, build up to top temp over 48hrs, run at that for 48, slowly down over 48 then off for 48 before tiling..

I thought it was along those lines. If cracks are to appear is that the most likely time?

10 to 15 Mt yes , any bigger and you get dry edges and cracks form. I sure most of us have come across these floors
